  • the device is typically implanted in a subcutaneous pocket, remote from the heart, and each of the one or more lead wires extends therefrom to a corresponding electrode, coupled thereto and positioned at a pacing site, either endocardial or epicardial.
  • Mechanical complications and/or MRI compatibility issues which are sometimes associated with elongate lead wires and well known to those skilled in the art, have motivated the development of implantable cardiac pacing devices that are wholly contained within a relatively compact package for implant in close proximity to the pacing site, for example, within the right ventricle RV of the heart.
  • an hermetically sealed enclosure 105 preferably formed from a biocompatible and biostable metal such as titanium, contains a pulse generator, or an electronic controller and associated power source (not shown), to which at least one electrode 1 1 1 is coupled, for example, by a hermetic feedthrough assembly (not shown) like those known to those skilled in the art of implantable medical devices.
  • Enclosure 105 may be overlaid with an insulative layer, for example, medical grade polyurethane, parylene, or silicone, and a portion of the insulation layer may be removed to form another electrode 1 12, for example, to provide bipolar pacing and sensing in conjunction with electrode 1 1 1 .

  • Opposing ends of the looped tether 280 (not shown), which extend out from a proximal end of delivery tool 200, are accessible to an operator so that the operator may tug on tether 280 to test the fixation of device 100 at the implant site, and, if necessary, apply a greater force to tether 280 to remove device 100 from the implant site for repositioning at a more suitable site. But, if satisfied with the performance of device 100 at the illustrated implant site, the operator may release one end of the looped tether 280 and pull on the other end to withdraw tether 280 through delivery tool 150 and thereby remove tether 280 from attachment structure 122.
  • a tether assembly for a delivery tool includes an elongate shaft and an attachment member coupled to a distal end of the shaft, wherein the attachment member includes an external thread and an end wall, the end wall extending orthogonally with respect to a direction of travel within a valley of the external thread to provide a hard stop for a threaded attachment bore of a medical device, when the bore is mated with the external thread.
  • the tether assembly may further include a knob coupled to a proximal end of the shaft, wherein the aforementioned shaft translates torque, applied to the knob, from the knob to the attachment member in order to detach the tether assembly from the bore of the medical device, for example, after the device is implanted.
  • the elongate shaft of the tether assembly includes a cable formed from a plurality of wires wound together in a single direction about a longitudinal axis of the assembly, the direction being that in which the torque is applied to the knob to detach the tether assembly from the implanted device.

  • end wall 427 prevents a wedging together of the mating threads when tightened together to the maximum depth, so that an undue amount of torque is not necessary to later detach tether assembly 400 from device 2100, as will be described below.
  • Figures 5A-B are schematics showing delivery tool 1200 following deployment of implantable medical device 2100 at an implant site IS, according to some embodiments.

  • end wall 427 of attachment member 420 prevented wedging together of the mating threads of device 2100 and assembly 400, the torque that the operator applies to knob 405 for detachment readily rotates attachment member 420 relative to device attachment bore 2121 , without being transferred through device fixation member 1 15 to compromise the implant.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un ensemble d'attache destiné à un outil de pose qui déploie un dispositif médical implantable qui comprend une tige allongée et un élément de fixation accouplé à une extrémité distale de la tige, l'élément de fixation comprenant un filetage externe et une paroi terminale, la paroi terminale s'étendant orthogonalement par rapport à une direction de déplacement à l'intérieur d'un creux du filetage externe pour fournir une butée dure pour un trou de fixation fileté du dispositif médical, lorsque le trou est accouplé au filetage externe. L'ensemble d'attache peut s'étendre à l'intérieur d'une lumière délimitée par un tube allongé d'un ensemble interne de l'outil de pose, de sorte que l'élément de fixation associé est situé à proximité d'un élément distal de l'ensemble interne, l'élément distal étant accouplé à une extrémité distale du tube et formant une ouverture distale de la lumière.
